NOURISHING AND HYDRATING

This highly effective moisturizer resembles the skin’s natural sebum, which makes it an ingredient that will cause little to no irritation and – used in cosmetics – it makes sure other ingredients are better absorbed. Squalane helps retain moisture in the skin, so it stays soft and supple.That’s why it’s the perfect addition to our Body Balm – and a skincare ingredient multi-tasker.

WHAT ELSE?

The hydrating powerhouse helps keep the skin’s barrier intact and is fit for all skin types, but especially works wonders on extra dry skin. It has anti-oxidant properties and helps firm skin, so hello anti-aging BFF! Squalane is such a beloved ingredient in the beauty industry, because it makes sure your skin feels velvety-smooth after use. And that’s exactly the feel we wanted for our Smooth talker. So: super moisturizing ingredient: check! Add the perfect subtle scent and increase squalane’s benefits with some other key ingredients.. et voila; enter our Body Balm formula! Thanks to the added pomegranate and ceramides you get the body care product, you can’t live without anymore.

IN SHORT

Moisture-boosting benefits
Helps prevent loss of moisture
Soothes skin & softens complexion
Helps protect skin's barrier (definitely when combined with ceramides)

IS SQUALANE VEGAN?

Squalene (with an E) can be found in our bodies, but it is converted to squalane (with an A) to make it more stable for the use in - for example - skin care products. Although squalene was originally sourced from deep-sea sharks, it was later discovered that the ingredient (so the unhydrogenated version of squalane) can also be found in rice bran, sugar cane and olives. The squalane we use in our MILU Body Balm is plant-derived and therefore vegan.

Want to know what this wonder worker feels like? Smooth talker. is the MILU product for you, and as we said, it’s the perfect match for all skin types. Enjoy!
